CINNAMON FRIED CHICKEN
Now anyone who watched Little House On The Prairie, has heard of Cinnamon Chicken. I looked for a recipe, but could not find any. I found chicken roasted with cinnamon sauce, but no fried chicken. So this is the recipe I came up with, years ago and my family loves it.

- 2. Mix the flour and spices together.
- 3. Heat a frying pan with the crisco or oil on low to medium heat.
- 4. Dip your chicken in cold water and shake the excess off. Place in the egg whites to coat. Shake off excess egg white. Roll the chicken to coat all sided, shake off excess and place on rack to dry slightly.
- 5. Place your chicken in the hot oil carefully and brown on all sides. Lower heat and cook uncovered until done..about 45 minutes. Sometimes I don't want a crispy chicken, so I leave te lid a jar.
- 6. When the chicken is done. Drain all the fat and return 2-3 tablespoons of fat to the frying pan. Add the same amount of flour and stir to make a Roux. Add milk to make a gravy and cook to the thickness you like. If it's too thick add a little more milk. Sorry folks forgot to say, you serve this in the gravy.

Tips:
- To achieve crispy and flavorful fried chicken, ensure that your oil is hot enough before adding the chicken pieces. This will help to create a golden-brown crust and prevent the chicken from becoming soggy.
- To enhance the crispy texture, double-coat the chicken pieces in the flour mixture. This will help to create a thicker and more flavorful crust.
- Use a combination of different spices to create a unique and flavorful fried chicken. Experiment with spices such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to find a combination that suits your taste.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a buttermilk substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes before using it to marinate the chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, resulting in a soggy texture.
- Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly and safely.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon fried chicken is a unique and flavorful dish that adds a touch of sweetness and warmth to the classic fried chicken recipe. With its crispy crust and tender, juicy meat, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. Experiment with different spices and marinades to create your own unique version of this delicious dish.
